Additionally, on Sunday, the Post updated its of the president to report in his 759 days in office, President Trump has made 8,718 false or misleading claims.
The Post is a frequent target of Trumps rage against the media and he often labels articles critical of his administration as fake news. He also slams Post owner Jeff Bezos the founder of Amazon.com regularly on Twitter.
Glenn Kessler, who writes the Fact Checker blog, to the president: Reminder: Trump cites the @washingtonpost Fact Checker when we give Pinocchios to Democrats.
He then retweeted this tweet from Trump from December 2013, when the then New York businessman wrote: Congrats to Pres.Obama on having 3 of @washingtonposts biggest Pinocchios of the year http://wapo.st/18Lzi0c Great accomplishment!
Kessler noted in his retweet: Theres always a tweet andgt;.
Shortly after President Trump entered the White House, Kessler announced a 100 day project to list every false and misleading statement made by the president. He later decided to keep the project going through Trumps presidency.
For the presidents declared national emergency, one of the claims the knocked was Trumps argument that big drug lords dont go through ports of entry.
He said in his remarks: And a big majority of the big drugs the big drug loads dont go through ports of entry. They cant go through ports of entry. You cant take big loads because you have people we have some very capable people, the Border Patrol, law enforcement looking.
The Fact Checker noted that the Drug Enforcement Administration says that most illicit drugs enter the United States through legal ports of entry.
The blog also gave one Trump claim four Pinocchios.
Trump argued in his remarks that the new trade agreement with Mexico and Canada would pay for his border wall.
Thats where the moneys coming from, not directly, but indirectly, for the wall, he said.
This is a Four Pinocchio claim, the Fact Checker noted in response.
Countries do not lose money on trade deficits, so there is no money to earn; the size of a trade deficit or surplus can be determined by other factors besides trade. Congress must still appropriate the money, and the new trade agreement has not been ratified, it noted.
Trump declared a national emergency to build a border wall his most prominent campaign promise after he failed to get Congress to appropriate the dollar 5.7 billion he needs to build his wall along the 2,000 mile U.S. Mexico border.
Congress appropriated dollar 1.375 billion that Trump can use for enhanced fencing but specifically did not fund a border barrier.
Glenn Kessler, who writes the Posts Fact Checker, argued Trump has tweeted their columns that criticize Democrats

The president is cobbling together the rest of the money through a patchwork operation that has him taking dollar 600 million from the Treasury Forfeiture Fund and dollar 2.5 billion from an account within the Department of Defense that is used for counter drug activities, in order to build his wall. Another dollar 3.6 billion will come from DODs military construction and facility improvement funds.
On Tuesday, 16 states filed suit to stop him.
For weeks, the president had been suggesting he would declare an emergency on the border and made it official on Friday morning in a Rose Garden announcement.
Trump is pulling power from the National Emergencies Act, which U.S. presidents have used 58 time since its 1976 creation.
